BMW class action claims automaker sold vehicles containing defective engine part – Class Action Lawsuits

A new class action lawsuit alleges BMW sold certain model year 2014-2021 BMW vehicles and MINI vehicles, including the Mini Cooper, with a defective engine oil filter housing.
Plaintiffs Aaron Eiger, Kendra Cherry and Kelly Haley Fucillo claim the engine oil filter housing for the engines of the affected vehicles often fails at less than 50% of their reasonably expected useful life. 
BMW and MINI vehicles sold with the allegedly defective engine oil filter housing include model year 2014-2021 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, X1, X2, X3, X4, MINI Cooper, Clubman and Countryman vehicles equipped with B46, B48 and/or B58 engines, according to the BMW class action. 
Eiger, Cherry and Fucillo want to represent a nationwide class, Illinois class, North Carolina class and California class of all owners and former owners, lessees and former lessees of class vehicles who purchased or leased their vehicles. 
Eiger, Cherry and Fucillo argue the allegedly premature failure of the engine oil filter housing cost vehicle owners between $2,000 and upwards of $3,000 to repair, depending on the class vehicle. 
“Individuals who own or have owned class vehicles also sustained diminution of the resale of their class vehicles since knowledge of problems with class engines became public information,” the BMW class action says. 
Eiger, Cherry and Fucillo claim BMW is guilty of unjust enrichment, in breach of two uniform commercial codes, and in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, North Carolina Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and California’s Unfair Competition Law. 
The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of actual, compensatory and/or statutory damages for themselves and all class members. 
Last year, a group of BMW drivers filed a separate class action lawsuit against the automaker last year over claims it sold certain vehicles with defective transfer cases.
